Redundancy and outplacement

One of the hardest jobs in business - and in the current environment hundreds of employers are confronted with it - is making the decision to terminate an employee.

There may be little choice in the matter. It could be an economic necessity. It could be that the person involved is highly competent and performing well, but might simply be a poor fit with the company’s culture.

An employee who is suddenly placed on the employment market can suffer a good deal of stress and rapidly lose confidence. But those who have to deliver the bad news, and those who retain their jobs, can suffer guilt and other stress.

The way a company handles these events can be crucial to its
future. If it is not seen to be acting with integrity, respect and
concern, not just for the people who are leaving, but also to those who
are staying on, its reputation, employee morale, productivity and
ability to attract future recruits can suffer dramatically.

Psychology Melbourne has a number of experienced psychologists who are highly trained in helping companies and former employees manage the transition.
